Motorists using a bridge in the southern Russian city of Volgograd were given the ride of a lifetime by a powerful gust of wind. The new river crossing started shaking violently and a massive downpour at the same time made conditions worse. Drivers say their cars were literally thrown into the air, many thinking it was an unexpected earthquake. The shaking was so severe it caused vehicles to career into the opposite lane creating chaos....
Hmmmmmmm .... unexpected earthquake
I’d strongly recommend that they remove the fences on the sides of that bridge as soon as possible.
It's a fake. It's impossible for concrete to expand and compress like this:
Maybe end their career on the road.

DAMMIT. I got taken too. Look at the trees - they don’t move. Look at the water...perfectly calm. OUCH!!
It isn’t fake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mclp9QmCGs
Without modification the bridge will eventually collapse.
Maybe end their career on the road.
"Career" is an obsolescent termgenerally replaced today by "careen".
Look at the photo. The sides of the bridge are compressing and expanding. If it were real that concrete would have come apart in seconds. It ain’t real.
